Title: Thermostat replacement
Post by: amba on 22 December 2007, 10:04:10

Looks like the thermostat is on its way out as takes an age to reach any form of temperature,so think thermostat is stuck.
How big a job is it to replace as looks like it comes complete with housing,any idea of VX price for parts,expevt labour would be comical so wont ask that.
Thanks guys..looks like a pleasant job for christmas eve if not too cold or wet

Not the easiest job on the v6 - its buried down in the V, and a bolt that holds the transfer pipe on has a 'reputation'

Re cost of replacement. I have just bought thermostat genuine VX cost £42.71 inc VAT. Doesn't come with new seal ring, that costs £0.85 inc VAT

I haven't done the job yet, but looks a bit of a sod to do.
